The most import change is that this package (which has been broken since the
conversion from a.out to ELF) has been re-ported to NetBSD by Urban Boquist,
boquist@crt.se.
- Patch memory management to recognize NetBSD-i386 ELF.
XXX This package still doesn't build on ELF systems due to problems with
XXX included assembler sources.
GHC: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler.
The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising
compiler for the functional programming language Haskell 98
(http://www.haskell.org). GHC compiles Haskell to either native code
or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to
Haskell, including concurrency, a foreign language interface, several
type-system extensions, exceptions, and so on. GHC comes with a
generational garbage collector, a space and time profiler, and a
comprehensive set of libraries.
